This was a fun nostalgic look back at the town I grew up in. It was so interesting to read who settled A.F. It was fascinating to see how commerce grew and the growth of the LDS church. My great-grandfather Thomas Coddington was mayor of Am. Fork in 1924. I enjoyed seeing what he did and was done during his administration. I was able to learn more about my heritage.

I love American Fork and love it even more now that I know more of our history. There is something powerful about understanding the roots!
